Thirty pairs of adult oppossum kideneys, (15 males and 15 females) were used. After obtsining the material by vinyl injection into the kidney veins and corrosion by sulphuric acid (30%), the following conclusions were reached: 1) The renal vein formed by the junction of either the central and dorsal trunks (90% at the right and 70% the left) or the cranial and caudal trunks (10% at the right and 30% at the left); 2) The constitution of the renal vein shows a bilateral symetry when formed by either the ventral and dorsal trunks (66,7%) or the cranial and caudal trunks (3,3%); 3) The venous trunks, either ventral and dorsal or cranial and caudal, are formed by the of either the cranial and caudal or ventral and dorsal collecting vessels, respectively, which in turn are originated by a mean of two to seven (usually 3 ou 4) tributaries on both sides; 4) The ventral and dorsal or cranial and caudal venous trunks are directly formed by several affuents which may vary fro 7 to 13, but usually eight at the right and nine at the left.Downloads
